BioActive Folate & Vitamin B12 by Life Extension – 90 Vegetarian Capsules

Life Extension BioActive Folate & Vitamin B12 – Cardiovascular & Methylation Support

Not all folate and B12 are created equal. Life Extension's BioActive Folate & Vitamin B12 delivers methylfolate (the active, body-ready form of folate) alongside methylcobalamin (the neurologically active form of B12) — bypassing the genetic conversion limitations that affect up to 40% of the population. This powerful combination supports healthy homocysteine metabolism, cardiovascular health, red blood cell formation, and neurological function.

What Does BioActive Folate & Vitamin B12 Do?

• Supports healthy homocysteine levels for cardiovascular protection
• Methylfolate bypasses MTHFR gene mutations for direct cellular utilization
• Methylcobalamin supports nerve health, myelin synthesis, and cognitive function
• Promotes red blood cell formation and healthy oxygen transport
• Supports DNA synthesis and cellular methylation reactions
• Non-GMO, vegetarian capsule formula

Who Should Take This?

BioActive Folate & Vitamin B12 is essential for anyone with MTHFR gene variants, elevated homocysteine levels, or a plant-based diet (which often leads to B12 deficiency). It is also highly beneficial for pregnant women (folate is critical for neural tube development), older adults with declining B12 absorption, and anyone seeking comprehensive cardiovascular and neurological support.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between folic acid and methylfolate?
Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate that must be converted to methylfolate (5-MTHF) by the body. Individuals with MTHFR gene mutations cannot efficiently make this conversion. Methylfolate is the direct, active form that the body uses immediately — making it significantly more effective for those with genetic limitations.

Why methylcobalamin over cyanocobalamin?
Methylcobalamin is the neurologically active form of B12 that the body can use directly. Cyanocobalamin (the most common form in supplements) must be converted and contains a small cyanide molecule that must be detoxified. Methylcobalamin is better retained in tissues and more effective for nerve and brain health.
